So, wow i am dumbfounded! I remember that my brother had a tape with the whole routine many many years ago. It oddly just came up in conversation (no, really!) and i Need the answer haha. I guess its a small consolation that i seem to be in good company! My friend insists its Cheech and Chong, but to my memory our household using it predates them by a good minute!
I appreciate everyone’s combined knowledge. Thanks so much.

Awesome, i totally crack me up, too! Welcome to the very small and still shrinking, but rather fabulous club!
They used a similar bit in their Sleeping Beauty skit. All spinning wheels are orderd destroyed and you hear them asking “Ver is de veel?”.
Back in the day my brother and I could do the whole skit!
Yes, it’s on their Big Bambú album.

The film department of a college I went to made an ad for the school.
A man in a trench coat runs through fog-shrouded streets. In the distance, dogs bark. He ducks into an alcove to avoid shadowy figures that are pursuing him. Just as he leaves his hiding place, he’s stopped - an East German police officer blocks his way.
“Your papers, please,” the officer says in an aristocratic German accent. Nervously, the man hands them over.
The police officer frowns. “I am afraid your papers are… not in order.” The man gulps in fear, and prepares to run.
“This one goes here, this one goes here, and this one goes here.” He quickly rearranges the papers, hands them back to the man with a crisp salute, then turns and vanishes into the fog.
Dave’s not here, man!
